So soaking it in glow fuel for 1.5 days and then putting it in the dishwasher seems to have loosened things up. So I put some 10w30 engine oil in it but I think that was a mistake. I was just trying to get it lubricated. It seems to be gumming up just a little bit. Ideas now? what kind of oil should I have used? Thanks for the help and sorry for the rather stupid questions...
